Casey and Dana raced across the parking garage in Casey's car.
Casey was going faster than Dana had ever seen anyone go before in a parking
garage, and she knew it was for good reason.
Dan Rydell was one of Casey's best's friends, and so was Natalie.
But the fact that it was Gordon who had kidnapped Natalie probably stung at
Casey. Dana felt bad for her fiancé, this was probably killing him.
Little did Dana know how Casey felt.
Casey was mentally beating himself up. He knew he should have gone with Dan, but
Dan wouldn't have it. Dan was set that he could take care of it, and made sure
that Casey knew that.
Dan was always like that. He could take care of himself, but he never asked for
help when he was scared, or needed help.
Casey assumed that was probably because of his father, Jay Rydell. Jay treated
his son like garbage, and that ate away at Dan's trust for others.
"You think he's all right?" Casey asked.
"Of course he is. He's our Danny," Dana said, and she smiled.
Casey smiled at her statement. That statement made him feel better as he drove
on the street, past Dan's car.
He drove down the street, and saw three figures in a yard.
Dana gasped, and suddenly Casey knew why.
Natalie was sprawled on the lawn like a drunkard, and Dan was barely fending off
slashes from a knife in the hand of Gordon.
Casey hit the brakes, and jumped out of the car.
Dana followed him, and ran towards Natalie.
"Dana..." Natalie mumbled as Dana ran up.
"Shh..." Dana whispered as she helped her friend to her feet.
"Are you all right Natalie?" Dana asked as she helped Natalie to Casey's car.
Natalie was bruised, cut, and scraped. Her eyes held no spark of happiness like
they normally did, but they carried a dull tone.
Natalie didn't respond as for the first time, she got a look at Dan and Gordon
fighting, with Casey running to them.
"..Danny... Casey?" Natalie asked.
"Danny came and saved you, Casey's gonna make sure he gets saved himself," Dana
said as she helped Natalie into the back seat. After closing the door, Dana
climbed into the driver's seat.
She looked in the ignition realizing that Casey had left the keys in the
ignition. Weighing her options, she realized that Natalie needed help, and Casey
would understand if she took his car.
She sped off with Natalie in the back seat, moaning one phrase...
"Danny saved me..."
